A water main break left a sinkhole on Wesley Avenue near 17th Street early on Sunday, July 12.
A water main break early Sunday morning on the 1700 block of Wesley Avenue in Ocean City flooded nearby streets and left a crater in the roadway.
The block is closed to traffic, and New Jersey American Water Company work crews are on the scene repairing the pipeline and the road.
Barricades are set up at 17th Street and 18th Street to redirect traffic on Wesley, the avenue closest to the beach on that stretch of the island.
The police and fire departments did not have information available immediately on Sunday morning on whether any cars were damaged or had to be removed from the sinkhole.
